Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 816 Nirvana
Emperor Sui had long suspected Liang Yu's intentions, so he was not too surprised and quickly guessed Liang Yu's purpose.

Suihuang said, "I have heard that the next realm after the Immortal of the Mortal World is the sixth secret realm of self-evolution. So, in the subsequent cultivation, bloodline and physique are not the focus, but the ability to open up one's own path is?"

Liang Yu said, "That's exactly right."

Without hesitation, Emperor Sui asked, "May I ask the Great Heavenly Venerable, how can I remove these karmic entanglements on my body caused by the power of faith?"

Liang Yu said, "The simplest, most convenient, and most orthodox method is undoubtedly to complete your Flintwood Law, thereby achieving rebirth. The immortal fire generated by the Flintwood Law is enough to purify these worldly causes and effects."

Suihuang said, "But to achieve this, it probably can't be accomplished in just one or two transformations, can it?"

Liang Yu said, "It's enough that it's not necessary to complete it. However, if you want to sever these karmic ties before your next life, I can also guide you."

Suihuang said, "Please, Great Heavenly Venerable, teach me."

With a wave of his hand, Liang Yu passed on the method he had used to shed his mortal form to Emperor Sui, and also the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm Clan. The combination of these two methods was enough for Emperor Sui to gain his own insights and use the metamorphosis process to sever his own karmic ties.

Then Liang Yu said, "Your transformation in your next life will require some elixir of immortality, right?"

Suihuang said, "The Great Heavenly Venerable is right."

Liang Yu waved his hand, summoning the humanoid elixir of immortality, and continued, "Cultivate diligently. You are free to roam this Wuji Immortal Mountain."

Suihuang accepted the elixir of immortality, which had become increasingly vibrant, almost like a real human being, bowed, and then left the mountaintop.

His method for achieving his fifth incarnation was to transform himself by comprehending the elixir of immortality, thereby further perfecting the Flint Law within his body.

To achieve this, he, now reborn as a human, naturally needs the secrets of the humanoid elixir of immortality to evolve his physique. Secondly, there are the Fusang Divine Tree, the Vermilion Bird Elixir of Immortality, and the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, which are all elixirs of immortality somewhat related to the laws of fire.

After comprehending some of the laws within them, the Fire Emperor was confident that he could significantly improve his own Firewood Laws, making his progress even more noticeable.

He now possesses the Vermilion Bird Elixir of Immortality, and has temporarily borrowed the Fusang Divine Tree from the Sun Saint Emperor; only the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality remains.

However, at this time, the elixir of immortality and its owner, the Immortal Emperor, were both in the Boundless Immortal Mountain, so the Emperor Sui had basically gathered them all.

So, Suihuang followed the aura of the Immortal Emperor and found that the Taiyin Human Emperor was also sitting opposite the Immortal Emperor, and they began to discuss the Dao.

The Immortal Emperor said, "Judging from the fact that you are carrying more than one elixir of immortality, you must have come to see me to borrow the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, right?"

Before Emperor Sui could speak, Emperor Immortal had already seen through his intentions.

Suihuang said, "The Emperor's insight is indeed keen; I hope you will grant my request."

Without hesitation, the Immortal Emperor handed the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality to Emperor Sui: "Even if we didn't have a past karmic connection, I would still lend it to you. Fellow Daoist Sui is too kind."

Suihuang said, "Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Emperor. I will not disturb your discussion any longer. Farewell."

The Taiyin Emperor said, "Fellow Daoist Suihuang, please feel free to do as you please." The Undying Emperor did not speak, but simply nodded in acknowledgment.

Afterwards, Emperor Sui arrived at the other side of Wuji Immortal Mountain, placed several immortal herbs in front of him, and began his cultivation, exploring the path to living out his fifth life.

As for the Immortal Emperor and the Yin Emperor, they continued their discussion.

As soon as they approached Wuji Immortal Mountain, the Taiyin Human Emperor had already sensed the presence of the Undying Heavenly Emperor. Therefore, after exchanging a few pleasantries with Liang Yu, he made a special trip to find this Heavenly Emperor.

Both of them are now in their seventh incarnation. Although their Taoist practices are vastly different, there is still a great deal of room for them to communicate.

The Undying Emperor said, "Judging from the performance of this Sui Emperor, the human universe has gained another promising junior who is likely to become a mortal immortal. The transformation of the elixir of immortality is indeed extraordinary. I just wonder what will happen when other elixirs of immortality also take human form."

The Taiyin Emperor said, "It's hard to say. In my opinion, even if other immortality elixirs are more complete, after they take human form, I'm afraid few can compare to the Sui Emperor."

The Immortal Emperor said, "My fellow Daoist Taiyin shares the same view as me."

They then set aside the topic and continued their ongoing discussion. However, it didn't take long before they ended their discussion again and began their own cultivation.

The Taiyin Emperor, in order to take the next step on the path of seeing all living beings, needs to evolve upon the foundation of the Great Dream of Eternity and forge his own path. The Undying Emperor, on the other hand, is already in his twilight years and has little time left. Therefore, they separated and entered into seclusion.

And so, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, twenty thousand years had passed. After this period, the seventh incarnation of the Immortal Emperor finally came to an end.

Long before the Taiyin Emperor and the Sui Emperor came to Wuji Immortal Mountain, the Undying Emperor had already lived for 100,000 years. Now, another 20,000 years have passed, meaning that his seventh incarnation ended at the age of 120,000. This lifespan is undoubtedly incredibly long.

However, this also fully demonstrates that the results of his last rebirth were indeed extraordinary.

After all, he modified the method of corpse dissolution to become an immortal, and only achieved Nirvana after cultivating continuously for hundreds of thousands of years in the form of an immortal artifact. Even disregarding the improvement during this process, the fact that he needed to constantly condense immortal laws after transforming into an immortal artifact could greatly promote his progress.

However, although immortal artifacts are immortal, they are still far inferior to mortal immortals. Therefore, after the Undying Emperor separated from the artifact, the changes brought about by these immortal laws mainly extended his lifespan.

Upon reaching his later years, the Immortal Emperor did not immediately begin his Nirvana. Instead, a figure appeared before him—Liang Yu.

Liang Yu said, "You are about to begin your Nirvana. In that case, perhaps the next time we meet, we will not be in the mortal world."

The Undying Emperor said, "Master, when I become a mortal immortal, I will definitely come back to follow you again."

Liang Yu said, "Then you'd better not keep me waiting too long."

The Immortal Emperor said, "Master, see you in the future."

After speaking, his aura began to weaken continuously, and his entire body even began to decompose and transform into the Dao. However, his transformation into the Dao did not dissipate into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, but rather transformed into a special law unique to him. Within these laws slumbered the Dao Fruit and the Undying True Spirit of the Undying Emperor.

After the Immortal Emperor completely collapsed, these laws condensed into one, forming an egg purely woven from laws, and began its rebirth.
